tired. sleep soon.
burt bacharach sure can pen a tune…
i need a concert soon.
Got our itinerary for our flight out to SiVi in two weeks, and wouldn’t ya know it… We are flying United…. Yep, that’s right, the airline who’s employees are currently striking…
My roommate, Jon Parise just took off about an hour ago. I didn’t really get to give him a hearty goodbye, because he stopped by during our meeting, but I should be seeing him this weekend.
The garage said that they weren’t sure what was wrong with my car, but that they found a problem with the fan (it was working intermittently). I am taking it to the adirondacks this weekend, so I should know by monday if it is still hosed… Damn car…
I don’t know what that subject means, but it made me laugh for damn-near 10 minutes a short while ago.
I got a note from my department telling me that my advisor was now Jim Vallino. No shit. He has been my advisor for at least 2 years now.
I’m sure glad they reminded me, because I am obviously an incompetant idiot….. :)
“We have a note on our website stating that we do not ship to third party addresses. You would need to call bank, and add it on as an alternate address to your credit card. Or we can ship it to your billing address.”
OK. First of all, you didn’t explain ’third party’ to the layman. I am not shipping it to a third party, I am shipping it to me.
Yeah, so my new harddisk has to go to New Jersey before it reaches Rochester. I hate idiots.
update: I should have made it clear that my bank card does not allow me to add alternate shipping addresses, which is the whole problem. I ended up changing the billing address on the card, which I am just going to have to change again in a week when I move.. grumble.
Worked from home today and actually got some work done. It worked out really well, even if I did get stumped by a problem… I am still in the midst of figuring it out, which sucks, because I feel behind…
Ate steak and watched “The State” tonight…
Went climbing last night. I have to say, there are many attractive females who climb. This is a Good Thing®. I believe I have chosen a good pasttime.
Today is a super-lazy saturday here in Rochester. It is beautiful out, but I don’t really feel like doing anything. The past few weekends have been really busy, and it is nice to do nothing for a change.
We are going to do burgers, dogs, and sausage on the grill tonight. That will get me out of the house…
We went out for lunch at work today, which was a good change of pace. Jerry’s food wasn’t cooked right, so he got it for free.
We played Counter-Strike last night, and I have to say that I was good. My roommates were doing good, but I was doing really well… It was much fun.
Found out I am officially returning to California on business the end of August. This is exciting, because:
Apparently we are flying into San Francisco again, which kinda blows, because we are going to Mountain View, which is about as much of a hike as it was last time (to San Jose). I don’t quite know why we didn’t fly into SJC, but I can’t complain, I ain’t paying… :)
This is also awesome, because I am homeless that week; Now I only have to find a place to stash my stuff… :)
If you are looking to reward me for being a swell guy, this item would be an excellent place to start.
(no, really, i’m serious…. buy this for me!)
Sleep didn’t work well last night, and because of that, I am rather beat this morning. I tweaked the journal’s style a bit yesterday to improve the appearance of the new music/mood metadata that livejournal provides. I am not done working on it, but it doesn’t look so ass anymore.
